Taking Things a Step to Far · 10:21pm Aug 27th, 2020
So I've just learned a bit of interesting news. Apparently, the BLM movement has been pulling down statues of General Grant and President Lincoln and is trying to have the Emancipation Proclamation statue in DC removed. Why? I don't get it. I can kind of understand having Confederate Monuments removed (though I don't entirely agree), but why get rid of the statues commemorating the men who fought for the freedom of slaves? Like these men are the reason the Noth won the Civil War and why Slavery was abolished. Am I missing something here? It makes about as much sense to me as the people who are trying to get rid of Thanksgiving.
Every time I think the U.S has hit peak "on fire"...
